Modern Witches RP

Modern Witches RP (with a slightly different plot from my post on CaC)

Alright. So if you read my earlier post about this, I said there was going to be a single antagonist named Smog, whose sworn enemy was witches. I've changed the plot. Instead, the witches will be having a sort of turf war.

There have been two rival witch clans in Chicago for as long as anyone can remember, Kast and Uvete. The Kast are the ones that built the city- their power is linked to it, and they keep it alive. Their powers are more urban or science-y, I guess- they're the ones in charge of things like electricity, the water from Lake Michigan (which is really important for transportation), weather, etc.

The Uvete, on the other hand, are the flowers that pop up in the sidewalk, the music, the art, the culture. They bring the fun into Chicago, while the Kast have their hands full trying to keep it going.

And both clans think they don't need the other side. 

So, the plot of this RP is that the clans are fighting over the area around the mouth of the Chicago river. The Kast want to make it into a major port and need it for transportation/shipping, etc. The Uvete want to make it into a sort-of art district, it's right by Navy Pier and they think that its location would be perfect for a center of culture. Also, Chicage kind of started out there, the first settler built his farm in that area and older lands give the witches more power. Our charries have to find away to get along and stop their clans from killing each other. (at the start of the RP, there's no real violence yet, just tensions) Here is the character sheet.

Hey, I was born in Michigan! Cool!

Hey, I'll try this out!

Name: Devon Spires 

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Clan: Kast

Power or specialty: Anything to do with natural building materials, i.e. brick, stone, sand, and wood. Can create structures and maneuver these things to do his bidding. (Think of... not like building huge towers, but being able to carve out a piece of wood or stone by just moving his finger around it, or clearing a hole in the sand with just a wave of his hand, though with lots of time he might be able to conjure up a building or structure.) Can also work with metal, steel, and glass, but he's much more limited in that way. Party trick would be crushing stone with his bare hand. 

Strengths: He's an incredible planner. No matter what happens, Devon always wants to have at least one or two solutions he can solve the problem with. Takes command easily, though some people might resent it for his short temper and occasionally explosive personality, but they have to admit he gets things done. Also hides his fear well, even if he's terrified out of his mind he can stay cool on the outside. If he's not being angry at someone he's actually quite nice to talk to and fascinated with a lot of things. 

Flaws: His extremely short temper. Devon likes to work on a strict schedule and hates it if someone is a tick off. Has OCD and likes everything to be where it is, where it should be, and not ever ever move. He kinda blows up if someone purposely messes with his stuff, and not necessarily a kind or forgiving manager even though he's a smart one. Terrified of snakes. 

Appearance: Tall and thin, someone who looks like he might blow over in the breeze. His auburn-dark brown hair is sort of messy, though he tries to keep it down, so it's spiky in just some places. Wears darker-colored long-sleeve shirts like black, grey, brown, dark green, or dark blue; also wears denim-washed jeans and black sneakers that he replaces often to keep them neat and clean. Always has a massive backpack slung over his shoulders, filled with various things that he could use 'just in case'. Hazel-green flecked eyes and a long nose, spattered freckles. 

Other: Has an appreciation for art despite being in Clan Kast and liking science and rigid structure, and often carves figurines of animals or people out of wood in his spare time.

Name: Charley Green

Age (please under 25): 15

Gender: Female

Clan: Uvete

Power or specialty: Plants! She is wonderful at making things grow and can make a plant brighten just by touching it. She can cause plants to grow quicker and healthier by using her powers. She is also talented at healing.

Strengths (including non-magic talents, if any): She is creative, bold, and extremely cheerful. She is good at thinking of original ideas. She is very positive and optimistic and can almost always think of a way for her ideas to work. She is very loving and accepting, but this makes her very gullible.

Flaws: She is gullible and naive. She requires very little proof to gain her trust. She tries to believe the best of everyone, which is a bit of a strength and a bit of a weakness. She can get carried away with her ideas and gets very hurt when people don't listen to her. She can get over her hurt quickly, though. 

Appearance: Charley has soft, curly red hair that bounces everywhere. She is short and a little curvy, with very delicate, small hands and feet. She has bright brown eyes with long lashes that she emphasises with sparkly mascara. She usually wears flowey skirts and dresses, and almost always has a bit of yellow on.

Other: She loves thinking of simple ways to brighten other people's days. She tries to avoid conflict at all costs because it upsets her a ton. She loves making sidewalk art, painting, drawing... anything colorful. She lives for color.

Name: Myles Arevalo

Age (please under 25): 13

Gender: Female

Clan: Kast

Power or specialty: tech, sorry if someone posted with this power. She can code things with her mind and absorbing code makes her stronger.

Strengths (including non-magic talents, if any): strangely, basketball. (Hoping she can meet some of you Uvete this way)

Flaws: doesn't talk. Doesn't really attempt to communicate very much, doesn't think the world needs her opinions. 

Appearance: some may call her suspicious, others may call her mysterious. Long black hair in a ponytail, sharp Asian features, wears a black hoodie, and has a strange beat-up necklace. Might draw pic of this.

Other: idk.

Power or specialty: Literature 

Strengths: She's an amazing writer, and can manipulate words in a magic way. She can have long discussions on just about anything, and loves to read.

Name: Terra Strife

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Clan: Kast

Specialty: Potions, Chemistry, whatnot. Can identify most plants, herbs, and animals due to her research in the materials for her potions. She works a pretty popular shop that sells potions that can help in almost any situation(Make you faster, smarter, stronger, etc.) She's pretty good with the elements and knows how to use them for things such as... Explosives :D

Strengths: Strong-willed, determined, hard working, intelligent. Calm and does great under stress. Holds her ground. Witty. 

Flaws: A perfectionist, holds grudges and is rather judging. She has a short temper and usually works alone. Not the bravest person.

Appearance: Messy Brown hair already graying in spots tied in a bun, tall and slender. Wears tank tops and sweatpants, with boots. Sly green eyes. Colorful stains on her clothes and can sometimes be seen wearing an apron.

Other: Is an extremist when it comes to hating the Uvete. Thinks they're pushovers and weirdos.

@anyone

I don't know if any of you would be interested, but I just thought of a power if you want to create another charrie- communication with animals, like strays and sewer rats and pigeons. I also don't think we have an electricity witch yet, or any light witches for that matter. So, if you need power ideas...

I'm here! Reserving and all that. Also, my character will have water powers if that hasn't been taken yet.

@Leafmist-

Water powers are not taken yet, that'd be good since our story is kind of centered around water :)

Your guys' charries look awesome! I think this RP will start on the May 7th or 8th, but you can still submit charries for a bit after that.

Thanks to everyone for joining!
